Fair point. Just to be clear: I am NOT a developer, so I may be very wrong on that take.

But from what I understand, the difference from what snaps does to what traditional packages does is that the Canonical repos are hard coded in it, thus making it harder to decentralise, and that’s not very in line with what many wish for a FOSS ecosystem.

I’m mentioning the “proprietary backend” drama around snaps. Not that I care too much, anyway. I use lots of proprietary software daily

something something snap package

It actually does, LOL!

I think one of the reasons why I can do gaming exclusively on Linux is because I hardly play competitive games, so I didnt miss Valorant, League of Legends, Apex and the like. But it’s still a reeeeal shame that these games insists on blocking Linux tho.

Completely valid take. I think that most Linux gamers dual boot (at least inside my circle of friends) (but no me tho, I’m Linux exclusive!) I think that when people doscuss Linix vs Windows, they often forget that you dont necessarily need to get rid of one system in favor of the other, you can simply integrate Linux into your workflow.

But isnt this like asking “Show me how to run Nintendo Services on the PS5 and I will switch”?

Windows has it’s own ecosystem just as much as Linux has it’s own ecosystem, so expecting Linux to run everything Microsoft is kinda of unreasonable IMO.

To switch an OS also means to switch an ecosystem. You wouldn’t move from Android to iOS expecting it to run Android’s .apk, right?

I’m not criticizing you tho, if a service you rely on doesnt work on Linux, then Linux isnt for you, and you’re free to use Windows, an OS is just a tool after all 😁

Technically I first experuenced Linux as a very small kid in 2009 in my school computers, but my first time trying Linux for my personal desktip usage was in December 11, 2021, when I first tried Linux Mint. My setup was a very humble, 14 years old, ddr2 board, and I was amazed at how much faster Cinnamon was compared to Windows 10. Since then, I already helped about 5 people to move to Linux too 😁

my brain hurts

I’m happy with just reading lyrics on the browser lol

It’s been about 2 days Steam is like this. This message has been appearing since first try, and sign in through the qr code gives me an unknown error

Brazilian here: I think that part of what makes these regimes to be as bad as they were is the legacy that they left. Not only did they cause alot of suffering with their violence and brutality, but also had their ideology impregnated in our society in the form of poverty, racism and conflicts that are still perpetuated to this day.

So, to me, both were as shitty as they could be in their own way, and reminds us how we humans can be consistently evil and cowards as a collective or nation.

But with effort and courage, one day we may see these ideologies disappear once and for all, and make them nothing but history.

Now they are fight attendants

Apple M1 and M2 chips are pretty great, so the “Mac tax” CAN be worth it to some. Also, having the option to install Linux on an Apple machine can prevent it from becoming useless because of planned obsolescence.
